Abstract
This paper gives an implementation of an interval temporal logic in a constructive type theory, using the Alf proof system. After explaining the constructive approach, its relevance to interval temporal logic and potential applications of our work, we explain the fundamentals of the Alf system. We then present the implementation of the logic and give a number of examples of its use. We conclude by exploring how the work can be extended in the future.
